 Physics of Failure Analysisa website created by Relex Software Corporation This website provides information about physics of failure (POF) analysis, and how it relates to reliability and maintainability (RAM) software and analyses. What is a Physics of Failure (POF) Analysis?Physics of failure (POF) analysis is a term for identifying and understanding the physical processes and mechanisms of failure. POF analysis has been in use for decades, and has resulted in considerable improvements in component reliability and system maintainability, even as overall system complexity increased. Traditionally, POF methods have focused on laboratory testing and physical analysis of components to fully understand why they fail. Within the last 10 years, great strides have been made in POF analysis using computer simulations that incorporate deterministic equations derived from basic principles of physics and chemistry. The evolution of the computer industry, as well as the growth of available material property characteristic information, has made computer-based POF analysis more feasible than ever before.
